Is there any interest for a fun race this evening ( Tuesday 11th )??
Not neccessarily with pitstops, maybe an F2 at Snetterton? or Sports Cars at Le Mans/Tucuman or somewhere just plain FUN!

I'll set my server up to run the F2s at Snetterton. If there is enough interest I can start a short 30 min qually followed by a 30 min race. Qually would start at 9.00 GMT +1.

looks like the track temp was too hot for the tyres  Plus, I could not connect to UKGPL4 either via Igor or IP Phil? Not sure if there were others who tried. I set my own PC up as a server to check if I could connect to Igor and had no probs. |

There was a firewall issue that I corrected before I restarted the server at 9.00. I noticed that Paul V had connected but not sure about anyone else. Perhaps it was too short notice. An F2 race on Sunday might be better attended? |

There is a link to a pictorial guide to a handicap pitstop in the race announcement. |

The time delay only applies to fuel, the tyres will take 15 seconds in addition to the fuel.

Yes, Gareth is right. Perhaps I need to update my guidelines to make it clearer. Andreas, the patch works off-line too so I suggest you have a play with the patch until you get comfortable using it. You can do one lap in qually in an an off-line "int long" race and pull into the pits to check your settings. Try a tyre stop only, a fuel top only and a combined stop. You can try it with different handicap times. After a while you will find it easy to use. I think it will be a different situation in the race. The pit lane could get quite busy. It will be interesting  |

Question.
As I won't have an extra time handicap (slow enough anyway) then I don't need to go through the steps of deleting the "gplc67.exe" & setting the slidebar in Pitstop Manager? I can just stop fill up = change tyres?

Answer No Reason: The patch is shipped with a default pit stop time of 60 seconds. It just happens to be the value Lee set it to. In hindsight I could have changed it to zero when I saved the patch but I didn't. I think I'll do that but for anyone who has already downloaded the patch they will have to go through the steps of "deleting the "gplc67.exe" & setting the slidebar in Pitstop Manager". Even if it was set to zero, Lee still recommends deleting the "gplc67.exe". So the safest thing is to follow the steps in the guide. Trying to shortcut the process is likely to lead to problems. |

Try as I may, I cannot get the patch work 100%. I get a tyre swap without problems but the top off in refueling refuses to be anything but the default 60 seconds. Sigh... Trust me, I've worked it over a dozen times using Phil's very comprehensive procedures and still no dice. BTW, thanks muchly for that, Phil. It was very helpful.
Not wanting to miss the round, I'll select the Brabham...slated for a 46 second refuel window...and just eat the extra 14 seconds.

Doni,
Same issue as you. I am getting an error saying GPL can't find the patch for any of the mods & a minimum of 60 secs for fuel.
Need to experiment a little more but my tyres don't seem to last much more than 5 laps. After that they just lose grip.
I think this patch may be a bit too much realism for me.
